Kind Words From Our Happy Patients

I was on long term assignment in Tokyo for a year in 2017 and faced dental issue. One of the molar was having visible crack in x-ray and after couple of visits in local clinic (faced lot of trouble in communication) finally setup appointment with Dr. Drennan at TDCO. The whole case was handled very nicely. Tooth underwent RCT very carefully in multiple visits just to save it and not to further develop cracks. They also placed an emax crown and no issue till date. No gaps and no food logging. I had another 2 RCT in India after this and after that I came to know the quality of service provided by Dr. Drennan. Perfect place for foreign nationals. Staff is also very humble. Everything on time, well scheduled without any delays in appointment times.

Dr Anthony is knowledgeable and friendly. He doesn't rush you through explanations and asks questions to make sure he gives you the best possible care for your needs. Great staff. The other dentist is also fabulous. I have been to several dentists in Tokyo and have chosen Tokyo Clinic as our office of choice.

In October I had a direct fall to my face on the cement while visiting Tokyo. I had to be treated in the ER but they could only do so much and I needed to get to a dentist ASAP. Dr. Andrew Drennan came to my rescue. Not only was he one of the few who spoke English, and was willing to squeeze me in right away, but he and his staff were so caring and compassionate and he did a great job. His treatment enabled me to continue on with my travels for the next 2 weeks rather than have to cut my trip short and return to the US.

In sync with his commitment to providing minimally invasive dentistry, Dr. Drennan has been providing a procedure that is most beneficial for his patients with very deep cavities who in the past would have required root canal treatment. Dr. Drennan has been providing this procedure to his patients at his private practice in the US since 2004. An antimicrobial paste and cement is placed in the tooth and sealed with a resin filling. This procedure has drastically reduced the number of root canals performed in the practice and has been appreciated by many of our patients.
